Associate Professor
Children's Hospital Colorado/University of Colorado, United States
Jesse Davidson, MD, MPH, MSc is an Associate Professor of Pediatrics at Children's Hospital Colorado with dual board certification in pediatric cardiology/critical care and additional training in cardiac imaging. His research focuses on the systems biology and therapy of multi-organ injury after infant cardiac surgery, with a particular interest in leveraging metabolomic and proteomic techniques to explore the complex molecular pathways activated during postoperative injury and recovery. His current NHLBI-funded work targets tryptophan metabolism through the kynurenine pathway and downstream de novo NAD production, both in infants undergoing CHD repair and in a large animal model of cardiopulmonary bypass with deep hypothermic circulatory arrest. Additional projects include a longitudinal multiomic evaluation of pulmonary vascular development in single ventricle patients undergoing staged surgical palliation, funded by the American Heart Association and Additional Ventures. Dr. Davidson also serves as an Associate Medical Director for the Children's Hospital Colorado Research Institute, which provides comprehensive operational support for >400 funded clinical studies and manages integration of research and clinical infrastructure within the hospital and across the University of Colorado medical campus.
